They reared nine children, viz .: John, Agnes, Jennett, Mary, Esther (de- ceased), James and Elizabeth; the two other children died in Scotland. The grandparents of our subject were Robert and Jennett (Max- well) Gerrond; they died in Scotland. Our subject was educated in his native country, where he also learned the blacksmith trade, which occupation he followed there and also several years after he came to the United States, which was in 1850.

In 1858 Mr. Gosse turned his attention to farming, and followed it with good success, and now owns about 500 acres of choice land in the vicinity of Princeton.

Y., where he fol- lowed his trade nearly ten years. In March, 1857, he came to Fairfield Township, Bureau Co., Ill., where he bought eighty acres of dry land, as he supposed, because at that time no water stood on the land; but when he came to settle on it a few months later he found it submerged, and had to wade through nearly two feet of water to get to a few acres of elevated land, which he cultivated.

Our subject's grandfather, Dan- iel Gray, was a farmer and reared a large family in Massachusetts. Several of his children were soldiers, and one an officer in the Revolutionary war. His son, Collister Gray, was born in 1777, in Hampshire Coun- ty, Mass. He removed to Madison County, N. Y., where he farmed, and died in Chenan- go County, N. Y., aged over eighty years.

He met several gentlemen who all assured him that Bureau County was the most healthful country in the world, among them were Mr. Bowen, from Clarion Township, Mr. Bingham, from Dover, and Stewart Richard, from near Princeton. In September of the same year he brought his family to this coun- ty. It cost him only $11 to have his goods, weighing 2,200 pounds, hauled from Chicago. When he arrived at Mr. Bowen's he found that he had just been buried, and in Dover he found Mr. Bingham at the point of death. At Stewart Richard's he was told by that worthy that he was just on the hunt for some women folks to help lay out the old lady, who had just died in this healthy country. Nothing dannted, Mr. Gray went on to Prince- ton, where he in partnership with Dr. Convers kept a general store for two years. During one year they sold ninety-six fiddles, principally to the Green River gentry. After this Mr. Gray was in partnership with John Dodge, and for several years was Postmaster.
